Kerstin Miller, M.Div, LMFT, CST

Couples and Family Therapist

When the two of you as a couple find yourselves feeling lonely and disconnected it may be because it does not feel safe for you anymore to talk about important and vulnerable issues. My goal for you is to feel comfortable in session, and for that reason I will not allow you to repeat your destructive behaviors in my office. It needs a calm and compassionate space for partners to rediscover their love and empathy for each other. I work emotion focussed which means you get to try out with my guidance to talk to each other differently. I will support you to speak more from the heart and listen with your heart and help you to express what you are longing for. I am a certified sex therapist.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Many couples at some point in their relationship experience frequent or continual arguing, lack of communication, loss of connectedness, or a pattern of angry projection of responsibility for the conflict onto one another. Learn the necessary skills for effective, open communication, mutually satisfying sexual intimacy and enjoyable time for companionship within the relationship.

Marriage and Family Therapist

All couples experience issues in their relationship. If you and your partner are having difficulty communicating or resolving conflicts, therapy is a great way to gain a new perspective with the guidance of a neutral party in a safe environment. My hope is to break apart your toxic patterns, rebuild your strengths as a couple, and give you the tools to improve your growth areas.

Couples seek therapy for many reasons. The starting place is to clarify what the cause is for marital distress. Often improving communications is needed. Improving communication is almost always about learning to listen to each other. Improved communication often helps with a lot of difficulties in a relationship. Sometimes there are differences or disappointments that need to be worked through. There may be multiple issues to be triaged. Sometimes there are betrayals which have damaged the relationship. Reckoning with the injuries inflicted, especially the lost of trust is difficult and painful, but, if the relationship is to survive and the bond to be fulfilling this must be dealt with.

Barbara Shaw, MS, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

You are struggling in your relationship and come to me feeling confused, hopeless, overwhelmed, angry, lonely, unloved, frustrated. . . I am specifically trained to help you identify what your true emotions and motivations are, what you are both really thinking and feeling. Often, couples feel they are in direct conflict when in fact they are simply not understanding the other's point of view. In many cases, when individuals realize what is really going on for the other beneath the surface, these insights alone can promote healing in the relationship. Gradually, conflict and feelings of isolation and confusion are replaced by feelings of understanding and connection.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

One of my primary specialties is couple's therapy. In most cases, I use EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). Research has shown that EFT has created a more secure connection in 75% of the couples that have gone through the process. This approach can profoundly change your relationship for the better, which can significantly increase the quality of your life.

Qatana Samanen, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist

The most important thing in couples therapy is helping both people learn what they can do differently to transform negative patterns into a mutually respectful, loving relationship. When people learn to really listen to each other, communication improves. Understanding and compassion take the place of anger and resentment, transforming power struggles into mutual support. What a relief!
I specialize in helping couples move beyond the crisis of infidelity to create a relationship that's better and stronger than ever. When this happens, trust is rebuilt and both partners gain confidence that they will never again suffer the pain of an affair
